                                            About 10 people played

Today was a good day for me. I have never waon a tournament ever before in
my life, before today. I thought my deck was no good because of all the
good players that come to these tournaments. Here is my deck:

2 Electabuzz
1 Rocket Zapdos
3 Sneasle (main attacker)
2 Chansey
2 Cleffa
1 Tyrouge

4 Darkness Energy
3 Rainbow Energy
6 Lightning 
2 Recycle
4 DCE

3 computer search
2 item finder
2 scoop up
3 RSA
3 super removal
2 eco-gym
1 chaos gym
3 oak
2 elm
3 plus power
3 goldberry
2 gust
1 NGR

There would only be 3 rounds because of only 10 people being there. After
that, there would be a final four.

ROUND 1  ME vs. Kid that always goes 0 and 4!
I had this game won from the start. I started with cleffa and sneasle. He
had only a ditto.I killed pokemon after pokemon with either sneasle or
ditto.The only problem was he kept getting basics. I finally killed his
last ditto with tyrouge.
1-0

ROUND 2 ME vs. Dude with wiggly sneasle deck
This match I wasnt as sure I would win this one. The first prize was drawn
by me, like 15 turns in. It went back and fourth for the rest of the time.
It came down to the time limit when he had picked up one more prize than
me.
1-1

ROUND 3 Me vs. Kid with Sneasle Electrode deck
This match was very very close. The winner would go to the final four.
Every time I killed a pokemon, he would kill one of mine. At one point he
had three powered up sneasles. Two with electrodes and one sneasle with 4
DARKNESS ENERGY!!!! I culd never kill that sneasle. It came down to one
prize. He had electabuzz and I had a tyrouge with 20 damage. If he flipped
heads for baby power he would win. If he gets tails I would retreat for my
fully powered Chansey. HE FLIPPED........Tails!!! I WIN!!!
2-1

ROUND 4-Final four, ME vs. Kid with colorless deck
I started with tyrouge active and two cleffas on the bench. He had ditto
and unown N.
I went first and killed his ditto with tyrouge. Then it came down to 2
prizes to 4 my favor. Then I killed two straight pokemon to advance to the
finals.
3-1

Finals ME vs. Guy with Lt. surge deck 
I just puerly won this game the whole way. I killed all his pokemon with
sneasle.
And I won my verry first tournament.
